First Night Monterey - Celebrating Art and Community!

Summer Art Camps Complete for 2024!

Children of all ages love the chance to be creative, and First Night Monterey's Summer Art Camps use arts as a catalyst to nurture creativity and enhance skills in a non-competitive, safe and fun environment. No prior experience or talent needed. There was a lot of fun and learning with age-appropriate mentoring as children created in a real art studio environment.
